| Damien Coyle | Mar 9 2016, 12:38pm | Hi Everyone Just wanted to let you all know that I have put myself forward to be the Race Director for the Scalp Leinster League Race on Wednesday 11th May 2016 at 7.30pm. Will post details, recces, volunteers needed closer to the time. Also would like to take the chance to wish Mick Hanney the very best of luck with his event at Annagh Hill this coming Saturday 12th March 2016. Mick has put in an immense effort to ensure that this will be a safe, fantastic and successful event for all. I can't make it myself however I'm sure those who can make it are in for a great day of racing and camaraderie. Well done and good luck Mick, I'm sure it will be epic. |
| Colin Doyle | Mar 9 2016, 2:30pm | Hi Damien, I'm down as one of your helpers for Scalp, I would like to be summit marshal on carrickgollogan after my registration duties if that suits? |
| Damien Coyle | Mar 9 2016, 3:36pm | Hey Colin, there is a bit of a mix up, Viv O Gorman is actually going to be Race Director and I will be Deputy Race Director. Thats no problem at all with the summit marshalling. Thank you for volunteering to help out and look forward to seeing you there. Regards, Damien |
| Vivian O'Gorman | May 9 2016, 1:21pm | Hi Folks - Everything is looking good for Wednesday evening.Even the weather is getting there! You need that for the old folk don't ya know - the Jim Fitzs, the Evas and the Patsy Mcs...!!! Some reminders - Preregistration closes at 6pm tomorrow (Tuesday) night - so do it NOW! Don't forget your jacket and race number As well as your race voucher - if you have one NO money will be taken on the night... Have a look at the events page for registration guidelines Race registration opens at 6 and closes at 7.15 sharp There is a good 10 minute uphill walk to the race start There is a one loop course for under 15s - ask me at race registration Parking is 3 euro per car - try carpooling from the Golden Ball I have enough volunteers now and I will be in touch with you all shortly |
| Andrew Hanney | May 9 2016, 5:49pm | Thanks Vivian, looking forward to it. |
| Vivian O'Gorman | May 9 2016, 10:32pm | I have emailed all the volunteers regarding duties.If any of you didn't receive it please let me know here. Thanks |

| Vivian O'Gorman | May 10 2016, 8:56am | This is a reminder!!! Please remember race registration for tomorrow nights race CCLOSES AT 6PM THIS EVENING! If you have not registered yet please do so now! Don't wait until lunch time or this afternoon or when you get home - Go into myimra - purchases and buy - NOW while you're on the site - Make sure to pay your 10 euro membership fee and either the race vouchers or 7 euro for this race only You can do none of the above AFTER 6pm this evening Also don't forget your jacket and official imra race number If you have lost your number we will give you another one - for a small fee - the race number is not official if it doesn't have imra printed on it - So see you all tomorrow night.... |
| Michael Donoghue | May 10 2016, 10:14am | Hi my race number may have fallen victim to spring cleaning in our house. Would it be possible to get a new number 1142 for collection tomorrow? I will have race vouchers to pay. Thanks Michael |
| John J Barry | May 10 2016, 11:46am | It will just be a blank sheet and a Marker/pen. So if you have an old number from another event, you can make it up yourself. We will be doing the same tomorrow evening. |
| Brendan Lawlor | May 10 2016, 12:09pm | '- the race number is not official if it doesn't have imra printed on it -' - from Vivian above Home made numbers are not allowed from what I understand - Committee might confirm this? |
| Laura Flynn | May 10 2016, 12:14pm | Michael, you cannot just write out a new number yourself. The proper procedure is that you make contact with the race director or person manning the numbers' desk on the night of the race and he or she will write out a new number (the same as your previous one) on the blank IMRA numbers. You will need to pay a penalty by having a voucher punched, either from your own or someone else's voucher card...so the cost is €5. Otherwise you cannot run. |

| Vivian O'Gorman | May 10 2016, 12:49pm | Michael just see me before you sign in... |
| Michael Donoghue | May 10 2016, 3:12pm | Thanks Vivian, see you there |
| Karen Devenney | May 10 2016, 9:47pm | Just a reminder to all runners that everyone needs to sign in at registration tomorrow regardless of whether they have pre-paid online or are paying by voucher. This is for both insurance and safety purposes. If you haven't signed in before the race, your result will not be recorded. We also ask that all runners check in at the finish, be it in crossing the finish line with race number clearly visible or make contact with RD if pulling out. And finally just to reiterate Laura's post earlier, you cannot run without a race number. If you forget or have lost your number, you can get a new official number issued by making contact with the RD at the cost of a voucher stamp. Otherwise you cannot run. So in short, don't forget your race number! See you all tomorrow:) |
| James H Cahill | May 12 2016, 10:29am | Well done Vivian and all the volunteers for a great race, and for handling so many runners so smoothly. You nearly have this race director lark cracked Vivian.....a bit more practice and you'll be there! Thank you for the birthday buns Jack Fairmainer and happy Birthday |
| Andrew Hanney | May 12 2016, 10:50am | Thanks to Vivian and volunteers for another great Wednesday nights entertainment (and the race as well ) :) |
| Vivian O'Gorman | May 12 2016, 12:43pm | Hi Folks, I want to give a BIG Thank You to ALL the volunteers who helped me last night.They had to work particularly hard to register so many runners in such a short space of time. My apologies to all the ladies at the prizegiving.I got there at the very end!! And congratulation again to Jack Fairmaner on his 10th birthday. I hope the pint he had with his dinner went down well!! Lovely Buns as well - thanks Denise |
| Brendan Carrigan | May 12 2016, 2:27pm | Great event yesterday - really enjoyable especially the pints and sandwiches afterwards :) Any idea when results will be posted Thanks again Brendan |
| Brian Fennessy | May 12 2016, 2:32pm | Another great success last night thanks to viv and the other volunteers.....special thanks to james cahill66 not only for the lift to and from the race and also for buying me a pint but also for the enterainment in the pub....hope to make next Wednesday.cheers folks |
| Brian Fennessy | May 12 2016, 4:14pm | One other person I forgot to thank and probably the most important from my point of view was gavin doherty for the loan of his runners...thanks gav I didnt see you in the pub after but if you're at next weeks race I owe you a pint of the black stuff. |
| Laura Flynn | May 12 2016, 4:29pm | Don't tell me Gavin ran it in bare feet...and he still,went flying past me!? Well done Vivian and your team on an excellent race - a great night was had by all. |
| Karen Devenney | May 12 2016, 9:21pm | Congrats to Vivian and crew on another great race and well done to all who ran. It was a great night and there was a brilliant atmosphere in the pub after too:) Results are up, any issues email me at karen.devenney at imra dot ie Roll on next Wed! |
| Pól Ó Murchú | May 12 2016, 10:50pm | Well done Karen...finally :-) I think my time is wrong...I'm sure there were only 2 seconds between myself and Conor not 4...can this be changed please? |
| Denise Airlie | May 13 2016, 9:12am | Hi, I think I missed a chunk of the trail on Scalp, as I definitely should have been last or near last! So please edit runner 1138 as DNF. Sad but true: next time my PB will be to finish (preferably not last) and and not get lost! 4th time lucky... |
| Mike Jordan | May 13 2016, 11:05am | Looking at the results I see that henceforth James Cahill must be referred to as James H Cahill. Makes sense if he wants to be taken seriously as a poet but what does the H stand for??? |
| Stuart Scott | May 13 2016, 11:16am | I suspect it was James' disappointment that another James Cahill had arrived first and forced the real James Cahill to be known as JamesCahill34 or whatever his date of birth is! |
| James H Cahill | May 13 2016, 12:42pm | In order to clarify: Firstly I don't have a date of birth. I, in fact, was launched upon the world and am (I hope) immortal! Secondly, the H will not be revealed but will remain open to speculation. In fact, I would suspect that the H is unguessable! |
| Brendan Lawlor | May 13 2016, 2:08pm | A very fine runner was James With an alias as one of his names But the 'H' in between What can it all mean 'Highfaluting' like most of his claims |
| James H Cahill | May 13 2016, 3:28pm | Brilliant Brendan An excellent try from the Poet Laureate - but incorrect! |

| Miriam Maher | May 13 2016, 3:31pm | Hubert or Horatio |
| James H Cahill | May 13 2016, 3:37pm | What kind of witchcraft is this rumbled by Miriam on the second guess! I think I'll have to go back to the "1924" after my name |
| Graham K. Bushe | May 13 2016, 3:43pm | Howard, Harold, Herbert, Hugh, Henry, Hank, to name a few. But Miriam is in the know, It's Hubert or Horatio! |

| James H Cahill | May 13 2016, 3:58pm | Both the Yeats and Seamus Heaney Summer Schools have serious competition this year. Who knew that IMRA was such a pent up vault of literary talent and excellence! |
